I didn't mark it obsolete yet. Having Emacs 29.1 annoy programs that
call a function that is a no-op, and adding that so close to the
release, sounds like not the best idea. Maybe we should consider
obsoleting it in Emacs 30.
Otherwise, I did update the documentation to be consistent with the
new implementation of the overlays (see also bug#59996), and I'm
therefore closing this bug report.
